Wow nurseing, what a success story. I too have lost and feel great. Well worth the effort and sacrifice. I hope you are just as strong maintaining. I know that will be a big challenge for me when I'm 8 pounds less.

We the older group in life can do this and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have been big all my life(my highest weight was 235) and until now it has never bothered me. But with the health problems I was having I had to do something. My back was a mess. My leg was going numb and I just refused to have injections put in my back. I have ate and exercised hard and have almost reached my goal weight. It has been hard but I feel so much better.(May not look better, but feel better).I did not use surgery or diet pills I did it on my own. Slow and steady. Some weeks I thought the scale would not move but it did. I started in Sept. 06 and by March 29 I hope to be at my goal. I want to thank all the people who encouraged me and sparkpeople. Maybe I can now walk the halls of my hospital several more years. Thank You all from the bottom of my heart. Debra(Nursing)
